If you want to increase the value of your privately held company, it’s not just about profits. While profitability is critical, there are other factors that can elevate your company’s valuation when it comes time to sell. Three years ago, I introduced a CEO to an awesome M&A firm.

When companies are small, if you run out of cash it’s OK. You know you’ll make it up tomorrow or next week. And there isn’t that much that you can’t cover by borrowing from your mom or your credit card if you run short for a bit. However, as you grow, you really need cash ...

When it comes to understanding our customers and employees, most of us are guessing. Most of us have no real data. And if we have data, it’s often misleading. I’ve found that this is the only surefire way to know if your customers or employees really love you. 1) Do a 1+1 question survey. Here ...

I have a friend who writes screenplays in his spare time. He swears he’s always just on the cusp of writing Hollywood’s next blockbuster.
